I have some button ideas already percolating for Atlanta:
1. "Have You FLOSSED Today?" - Free Libre Open Source Sofware in ED :)
2. "I'm a Wiki Warrior"
3. "The Power of the Wiki"
Dual track of speakers?
Student coming from Elkner / speaking track or booths? Atlanta Public Schools: help set up lab, provide students to teach?
Barbeque for attendees to gather on Open Source (sponsored?)
Blogger meetup booth. Sign up when you are going to be there to visit with people? Will and Warlick want this. Blogger "cafe"--chairs, couch, table, area to spend time together.

The “Blogger’s Cafe…” We did have a “Blogs and Wikis” booth in the Open Source Playground area, but I think it was pretty unknown and under-attended. Adam Frey from Wikispaces was there, and if we’d known he was going to come earlier than we did, we could have made a bigger deal out of it. I think ISTE/NECC might consider letting us do some of those booths again (hopefully, closer to our regular lab), and if so, we could do a better job of publicizing it and of promoting it as a meeting place. Maybe we could even get some chairs and a couch and actually have “guest bloggers” who would sign up to be at the “cafe” during certain hours so others would know that they could come and meet them…

I think that's a great idea. It would be good if NECC sponsored it. Such a thing, on our own, could get real expensive, though there may be some company that would be willing to fund it. I'd vote for an un-conference, blogger-con style conference, an EduBloggerCon.
